After My Own Art…read more Located on 217 acres of pristine Napa Valley land, the Di Rosa is a contemporary art museum that's been operating publicly since 1997. This museum is the personal collection of Rene & Veronica di Rosa. The Good: *Temporary exhibits rotate approximately every four months. *Complimentary umbrellas (more on that later) *A good portion of the exhibits are outdoors along their gorgeous property. *Shuttle if you don't want to or need assistance walking from building to building. *You really have to like weird shit because this place is full of it. Personally, I love it, but if you're more "serious" art person, then this probably won't be your jam. *Picnic tables on the grounds, as you're encouraged to bring food and drink to enjoy in their outdoor area. *Friendly staff The Meh: *General admission of $25 might be a touch high for an art museum. The Ugly: *Be wary when visiting during inclement weather,as there's a large part of this museum that's outdoors. So you'll probably miss out on some of it, but the free umbrellas (mentioned above) did come in handy. Conclusion: Fun art museum with some really cool pieces and doesn't take itself too seriously.

I'm not actually sure if I'd ever been to Suisun before Saturday, so naturally I wanted to explore a little. We followed signs to "Lawler House" and went in to see what it was. Lawler House Gallery had two rooms full of really wonderful art piecs. There were some paintings and photos, but mostly it was the most creative art pieces that captured my attention. A wire cat with a small canary sitting inside was cool, but a row of carved and painted gourds were the most amazing. I searched google when I was home and entertained myself for a while looking at "gourd art". The lady working the gallery was very friendly and informative. The goal of the house is to bring inspiration and education to the community, and she obviously was very passionate about this. She approached us and asked where we were from. She then went on to tell us about the artists (there are 30 of them in the gallery right now). She also said that the current art is part of a series called "Touching Wild, Touching Art". The proceeds of the sales will go to benefit the new Suisun Wildlife Rescue Center (like Lindsay Museum of the East Bay). A fundraising reception will be hosted at this gallery in September. As we left the house we walked through a courtyard with some welded sculptures. All of them were great. Tactile connections and the ability to interact with art is really cool. If youre in the area, this gallery is worth a stop! Or check out their website for more information about the fundraiser.

Staff are super nice and will help you if you need anything. They have a gift shop on the first floor perfect for picking up a gift~ I enjoy coming here often because they do have new art on display all the time. So you can enjoy the classics (non rotating long staying pieces) and new ones. Highly recommend this gem of an art gallery!

Outside this location you'll notice two large structures: a cat and a dog. When you enter the gallery you'll see a front desk to your left, one of the staff members greeted us. There are pieces all over the gallery from artwork to sculptures. On the second floor there are multiple metal tables and chairs where you can have a seat and work. There was also a bathroom on the second floor. There was classical music playing throughout the building. It was a nice departure from working in my hotel room and I enjoyed seeing some of the artwork and sculptures on display.

If you are looking for texture and movement, you will not be disappointed. There is ample parking and plenty of natural light.

For example, feast your eyes on the new-ish Shrem museum, right on the edge of campus. New to Davis? This museum is directly across the street from UCD's visitor and conference center on one side, and the campus concert hall (wine-named Mondavi Center). High-tail it over to the museum and keep your wallet in your pocket -- it's free. It's 30 minutes or so you won't mind giving up. A fun mix of modern art that is always changing, so i won't date my review here. At the very least, it's a beautiful space with some thought-provoking installations every time I'm in town. I believe there's some kind of rule that all the artists have some connection to UC Davis. Davis hates cars, so the adjoining parking lot is about $10, during the week only. Weekends? Cars galore, no charge. Inspiring!

After spending time in one of the rooms, she asked our thoughts and we discussed for a few before going to the next. Would definitely visit again.

Their garden was more beautiful in person, and it was a pleasure to walk through it... along with the other gardens. The Pence Gallery itself is very nice. We stopped by because we had will call tickets for the garden tour. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming. She gave us a little goodie bag which we appreciated. The place was clean and organize, it was also serene and relaxing. As for the garden tour event, the description on the Pence Gallery website said there would be 7-10 gardens. Sadly, there were only FIVE + a stop at the gallery, and it literally took us less than two hours to do the whole tour. We definitely would have planned our morning differently had we known there were only five gardens. Hoping they offer more gardens next year! Other than that, we had a good experience at Pence Gallery and their garden tour event.

They're a collective of 53 local artists that display all their wares in one shop that's conveniently located along the main drag in DT Napa. They aren't your typical art gallery where the pieces cost more than a car--or a house in some places--as they have pieces of original art in pretty much anyone and everyone's wheelhouse; the prices start as low as $50 and as high as ±$1k, with most pieces being in the less than $500 range. The service is welcoming, not pushy at all, and the mood isn't stuffy as most art galleries tend to be where you need a Black AmEx just to walk in the door. Highly recommended to come check it out, even if you're not currently in the market for art. You just might find something that captures your eye and imagination.
